Matt Meyer Wins Delaware Governorship with 56% Vote

Democrat Matt Meyer won the Delaware gubernatorial race, defeating Republican Mike Ramone with 56% of the vote. Meyer, previously New Castle County Executive, ran on a platform focused on healthcare, housing, public safety, and education reforms. Despite not having party support, Meyer won the Democratic primary against Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long, whose campaign was marred by a finance scandal. Ramone, a moderate Republican and House minority leader, advocated for political balance in Delaware's government and focused on education and infrastructure. Meyer succeeds two-term Governor John Carney, who will now serve as Wilmington's mayor. This election continues the Democrats' decades-long control of Delaware's governorship.
